I hunted for years with a .44 mag. handgun. I`ve taken several deer with that round, but I used to shoot a handgun alot, a couple of 100`s rounds a week at least. I don`t shoot handgun near as much as I used to and don`t hunt with them as much for that reason. I`ll still carry one where there is no chance for shot much over 50 yrds. I have carried my .454 Rageing Bull acouple of times, but have neve got a shot with it. I also have a .454 Red Hawk, but it has far more recoil and I can not shot it nearly as well so I`ll probibly never hunt with it. As for the .500 S&W, if I find one at the right price I`ll definately buy it, but doubt that I would ever carry if in the field. There is nothing here in Ohio that a .357 won`t take.
